Author’s Notes: For the Holmes Minor May 2019 prompt: Freedom

A dead man is a free man.

Those closest to me are safe now; they cannot and will not be used as hostages nor threats against me.

I will move more swiftly with only myself to have a care for.

I will be able to move unmolested by the remnants of this monster's operation.

Now I can track them down one by one, and tear away the last threads of this vile web once and for all.


Teeth clamped on bleeding tongue, I chanted this litany in my mind over the sound of Watson's cries and the roar of water.
